Islamic Relief South Sudan (IRSS) has been implementing a one-year genderresponsive relief assistance and community recovery integrated humanitarian response funded by Swedish International Development Corporation Agency (Sida) in South Sudan. The project’s overall objective is to contribute to reducing the vulnerability of crisis-affected communities through creating sustainable livelihoods and improving access to multi-sectorial basic services. This learning paper captures learning outcomes from the response particularly on cash programming and livelihoods, to understand gender mainstreaming, protection and inclusion components using a rights-based approach. The paper, therefore, highlights IRSS interventions and key findings whilst also providing a set of recommendations for improving its interventions in Central Equatoria, Warrap and Western Bahr El Ghazal States.
